Beachville.

Topics: classic

Of Beachville, village of the plain,             We now will sing a short refrain,             For here the Thames doth pleasant flow,             And charm to landscape doth bestow;             Though river here it is not deep,             Yet banks slope graceful up the steep,             And from the summit of the hills             You look down on the famed lime kilns,             And 'tis full worthy poet's rhyme             The whiteness of your pure white lime,             Your glory never shall be gone             While you have quarries of this stone,             In influence you yet will wax             With mills for flour and also flax.
